Hi Colatudo,
I sincerely appreciate you posting a reply. I use PS CS5 (I have extended version). I looked over your portfolio; you do great work! However, I am skeptical because I am still quite awkward with PS’s “extended” 3D, in fact, I have never used it and accomplished anything I like well enough to show anyone or include in my portfolio. I think I need a mock-up similar to a T-shirt mock-up: transparent background, provision to change fabric color(s), and capability to drop the artwork on various planes (front, top, and sides) via smart objects.

There’s always a first time, without any obligation, I’m willing to give one of my models for free to change your mind and make a test, the only thing you must do before customizing is changing the render quality to interactive, and to finish changing to Ray Traced Final quality and let the photoshop render the scene, with shadows and reflections. Before you make up your mind, you can check my pdf tutorials at issuu, or video tutorials at youtube.http://issuu.com/colatudo, https://www.youtube.com/user/colatudoYTube

Colatudo, your 3D Flag mock-up tutorial on youtube does give me some hope. :) I'll look over the other tuts, as well.
